A skunk in the works

[SVSooke]

Thank God.I so much want to see it done, not as much as you, but I restored an 83 venture one time.I had twice as much in it as it would ever be worth, but I was so proud of it.I gave it for free to hannigan fairng copany in Paris Arkansas.its on their website.Thos 83's all had transmission problems, so I said no mas.

I plug away somewhat slowly but it WILL get done.

Not to hijack the thread but checked out that Hannigan Fairing Company's website and they are not taking orders until December so call us back then

Certainly a tough choice whether to ramp up production to fullfill orders quicker or hold the line and risk p&ssing off potential customers who want product now

Jerry is an absolute perfectionist.I think his fairings are the best made fairings in the world.Sure they almost all look alike, but you cant rush quality, he wont do it, and your fairing will last a lifetime once on your bike.Mine cost $1400 with the lowers, 1000 without.But you can easily drop 500 on a memphis shades with quick disconnect mounts.I got better gas mileage with my yamaha after the fairing was on, plus you could feel no wind at all on a cold winters day coming head on.For those guys who only want handlebars and no shield its a no go.But bevel drive engines are not as good as a GS engine.

All primed and ready for the red!

Such a beautiful day to paint here in Sooke I took advantage of it.That's 7 coats of lacquer wet sanded every 2nd coat.Hope 1 day next weekend is as good,will do the white and maybe some 750 stuff to.

Did the white this morning.While the wind that's been blowing the last 2 days took a bit of a rest.It isn't perfect but then I'm not Larry http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/member.php?u=16374 either After colour sanding and clear she should be a very good 10 and maybe 5 foot bike.

[SVSooke]

Did the pinstripes,do I wish I had the stick to it to do them by hand.Don't feel steady or patient enough to do the practice.Wimped out and bought stripes in other words.On to clear!

Whats going on here SVSooke? I thought I had seen it all, but taking your tins on a picnic? I think that might just require professional help!

[SVSooke]

Well I can't win can I?If I leave them on the grass I get asked what I use for fertilizer,put them on a sheet I'm wrong to

[SVSooke]

Since the 750 is in a bit of a holding pattern I did some 1000 work:



Put in the "new" harness.Had to move the plate for the 83 750 fusebox down to clear the side cover.Then I found this out http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=211189

Put these in to,will wire them with a relay from Rustybronco,thanks again Dale.Looking at the wiring again I REALLY don't know why the other one burned down.Happens again I'm thinking I'll part the bike out.All the hassle getting this harness has just not been worth the heartache.

[rustybronco]

Happens again just send me the harness.

[SVSooke]

Well I think I MIGHT know what happened to the first harness.Was messing around with the horns and harness and I found a frame ground,had a .Went in to check the old harness,there's 2 grounds!!.Thinking either I put one in the wrong place of missed one entirely.I put both to the frame this time.Think I'm on the right track here?

[rustybronco]

The only reason I can think of for that harness melting was a current carrying wire somehow or another got shorted to ground.

I'll look through this thread later on tonight or tomorrow morning to refresh my memory. Mot too tired right now after spending 7-1/2 hours running 230V out to the garage.
